"If we just worry about the big picture, we are powerless. So my secret is to start right away doing whatever little work I can do. I try to give joy to one person in the morning, and remove the suffering of one person in the afternoon. If you and your friends do not despise the small work, a million people will remove a lot of suffering. That is the secret. Start right now."

i am moving to New York.
i hope i might be able to meet some of you sometime =)
Those of you on the West Coast, i will miss being physically able to be near you. =) Although it's really never been what our friendships have relied upon.
i am terrifically excited about some of the things coming to me in the move.
Hard work, but when things are easy i begin to wonder.

happiness
Tis a gift to be simple
tis a gift to be free
tis a gift to come down where i ought to be
and when i find myself in a place just right
'twill be in the Valley of Love and Delight.
when true simplicity is gained
to bow and to bend i shan't be ashamed
to turn, turn
'twill be such delight and by turning turning,
i come down right.
Tis a gift to be loving
tis the best gift of all
like a quiet rain it blesses where it falls
and when i find myself in a place just right
'twill be in the Valley of Love and Delight.

1. If you could eliminate one emotion from your life, which would it
be?
hate<----yes, in every way, shape, and form.
2. What is one personality trait you've tried hardest to change in
yourself?
Hmm. That is a toss-up. I think being sick has really helped me consider life and realise how important it is to be patient with others (and with myself); I've also really tried hard to take responsibility for my actions in each and every instance. I'm learning.
3. What would you say is the most beautiful word in your own language?
peace<---noye, you are beautiful.
I could never pick one. I love words too much, but she's done a wonderful job.
4. If you had the gift of magic for one day, what would you do?
What Master wished me to do.
5. If you were 6 inches tall for a day, what would you do?
Play with my tortie Mimolette!
6. Did you ever have an imaginary friend? How would you describe them?
No. I have a twin brother, he kept me busy enough. Also, all my stuffed animals were alive. ;) I pretended other things, like scenarios rather than friends.
7. If you could invent one new home appliance, what would it do?
ummm. An in-home teleportation device.

I am The EmpressThe Empress can refer to any aspect of Motherhood. She can be an individual mother, but as a major arcana card, she also goes beyond the specifics of mothering to its essence - the creation of life and its sustenance through loving care and attention. The Empress can also represent lavish abundance of all kinds. She offers a cornucopia of delights, especially those of the senses - food, pleasure and beauty. She can suggest material reward, but only with the understanding that riches go with a generous and open spirit. The Empress asks you to embrace the principle of life and enjoy its bountiful goodness.

This is my separate journal. My other journal is under my normal pseudonym, one that many know and I would simply like to keep my increasing wish to discuss my interest in bdsm apart from that journal, which discusses different things. Filters for poetry, so forth, etc here too.
